I have never trimmed bud before so, I know nothing about the subject except what I have read.
I will be triming by hand in a few weeks from now...
I think I would like to get one of those Spin pros someday.
But
I read DJ short's tutorial, he says leave the leaves on the bud for the 1st few days of drying....
So I am confused now...:worried
Ken, youll read alotta things bout trimming and curing and for me it was the most nerve racking part of all this;
heres where im at.
let the leaves dry on the plant is great for end product but a bitch to trim off. when they dry, the leaves snugg up to the bud and its a bitch to cutt off. id only do this for head stash never fir anyother reason, as its not practical.
As far as spinpros and trimreapper etc., commerical guys cant live without em but buds seem to get all banged up and lose trichs(more than im willing to lose myself) ive got buds frm dispensaries that were forsure machine trimmed and i looked under a 30x and saw alot of missing trich heads, almost looked liked they dry sifted the buds!
fir me, i pull all fan leaves and non trich leaves, first, few days before harvest, then trim branch by branch, hang, for dry, then follow djshort method frm there.
hope that helps a lil,
confu...
